Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation and Robotic Therapy

About this trial

This trial is enrolling individuals with incomplete spinal cord injuries to test the effect of supported gait training combined with spinal cord stimulation (SCS) on lower limb strength. SCS is a technique for stimulating the spinal cord. Here, SCS is performed with electrodes applied to the skin surface on the lower back. Researchers want to assess walking function with SCS added to gait training. Participants will use a Lokomat, a robotic medical device that provides repetitive gait training. If included, participants will perform 20, 30 minute sessions of robot-assisted gait training either with or without spinal cord stimulation over a period of 4 weeks. Final testing will be performed after another 4 weeks.
